My One True Friend Lyrics

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing

I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end
You are my one true friend

For all, all the times you closed your eyes
Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised
By life, with all its twists and turns
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn

And when I left, it's you who stayed
You always knew that I'd come home again
In the end
You are my one true friend

Though love may break, it never dies
It changes shape, through changing eyes
What I denied, I now can see
You always were the light inside of me

I know, I know, I know, I know it was you
I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end, you are my one true friend

My one true friend
I always, always knew
I always knew that it was you
My one true friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
